23H water in outside storage under bed

[EdTWH]

Wife came back from camping and the center rear storage compartment under the bed had about 2" of water, the right rear had some puddling and front rear no water. Emptied, dried out and poured water in shower, sink, toilet and stayed dry. Came back from camping this weekend and center rear had puddling. Access doors were closed and locked. Did have leaking on outside from city water connection (new issue and will replace).

Is that compartment under your shower? My shower drain pipe ( rigid black pipe) cracked from movement in the shower tray. It only leaked when the floor moved with weight. Is there a removable panel in the cieling of that storage compartment? If so, remove the screws and see if it’s wet.

Had it rained? I’ve had poor sealing on outside compartments. Easily fixed with weatherstripping. Is the compartment big enough to get in? Or do you have a handy child that can climb in and look for light around the edges with the door closed.

Sorry, down with flu. There's a tiny access compartment above and under portion of shower. It felt dry both times I checked.
Thought it might be weather stripping, but never leaked before. Luckily compartment big enough for me to climb inside and see this weekend.

Most common cause of leaking into cargo bays is the weatherstripping around the cargo door not making sufficient contact with the door. Most common reasons for that are weatherstripping coming loose. Weatherstripping twisted or poorly installed. Misadjusted door latch causing the door to not be pulled in tight enough to seal properly. The latter is the most common. If it wasn't happening before, the latter still applies. Could have been ok when new and as the seal compresses with use, you now have a gap. If there is not a tight seal there, even condensation from the roof AC could run off the side and into a cargo bay. Extremely rare to have water coming into a cargo bay from a leak inside the coach.

If the coach has not been exposed to any rain or other exterior source of water intrusion, then yes, other possibilities apply.

I'm not sure what you mean by "right rear", "front rear", and "center rear". My 2017 Freedom Elite 23H has one huge storage compartment under the corner queen on the right side. Under that is a spare tire compartment. Any water that get into the big space will usually find its way into the spare tire space. There is a drain plug there but, if you remove it, be sure to put it back because the hole is big enough for a mouse to get in.

When I found water in that compartment, I traced it to a bad seam on the roof. Rain water had been running down the inside of the wall for quite a while. it also caused problems with the tail lights. You might want to remove those two fixtures to examine for soggy plywood.
